以下主要介绍SIM(Subscriber Identity Module) card的逻辑接口，附两篇有关SIM的介绍性文章：

• SIM Card Protocols
• what is SIM
  

The files are organised in a hierarchical structure and are of one of three types as defined below. These files may be either administrative or application  specific. The  operating system handles the access to the data stored in different files

Logical Model of SIM

Files are composed of a header, which is internally managed by the SIM, and optionally a body part. 

The information of the header is related to the structure and attributes of the file and may be obtained by using the commands GET RESPONSE or STATUS. This information is fixed during the administrative phase. 

The body part contains the data of the file.

File Identifiers

A file ID is used to address or identify each specific file. The file ID consists of two bytes and shall be coded in hexadecimal notation. They are specified in clause 10.

The first byte identifies the type of file, and for GSM is:

- '3F': Master File;

- '7F': Dedicated File;

- '2F': Elementary File under the Master File;

- '6F': Elementary File under a Dedicated File.

File IDs shall be subject to the following conditions:

- the file ID shall be assigned at the time of creation of the file concerned;

- no two files under the same parent shall have the same ID;

- a child and any parent, either immediate or remote in the hierarchy, e.g. grandparent, shall never have the same file ID.

In this way each file is uniquely identified.

Master File(MF)

The unique mandatory file containing access conditions and optionally DFs and/or EFs.

Dedicated Files(DF)

A Dedicated File (DF) is a functional grouping of files consisting of itself and all those files which contain this DF in their parental hierarchy (that is to say it consists of the DF and its complete "subtree"). 

A DF "consists" only of a header part.

- DFGSM which contains the application for both GSM and/or DCS1800;

- DFTELECOM which contains telecom service features.

Both files are immediate children of the Master File (MF) and may coexist on a multi-application card.

Elementary File(EF)

An Elementary File (EF) is composed of a header and a body part. The following three structures of an EF are used by GSM.

Transparent EF

An EF with a transparent structure consists of a sequence of bytes. When reading or updating, the sequence of bytes to be acted upon is referenced by a relative address (offset), which indicates the start position (in bytes), and the number of bytes to be read or updated. The first byte of a transparent EF has the relative address '00 00'. The total data length of the body of the EF is indicated in the header of the EF.

Linear Fixed EF

An EF with linear fixed structure consists of a sequence of records all having the same (fixed) length. The first record is record number 1. The length of a record as well as this value multiplied by the number of records are indicated in the header of the EF.

NOTE 1: It is not possible, at present, to have more than 255 records in a file of this type, and each record cannot be greater than 255 bytes.

NOTE 2: This structure was previously referred to as "formatted" in GSM.

Cyclic EF

Cyclic files are used for storing records in chronological order. When all records have been used for storage, then the next storage of data shall overwrite the oldest information.

An EF with a cyclic structure consists of a fixed number of records with the same (fixed) length. In this file structure there is a link between the last record (n) and the first record. When the record pointer is set to the last record n, then the next record is record 1. Similarly, when the record pointer is set to record 1, then the previous record is record n. The last updated record containing the newest data is record number 1, and the oldest data is held in record number n.

For update operations only PREVIOUS record shall be used. For reading operations, the methods of addressing are Next, Previous, Current and Record Number.

After selection of a cyclic file (for either operation), the record pointer shall address the record updated or increased last. If an action following selection of a record is aborted, then the record pointer shall remain set at the record at which it was set prior to the action.

NOTE: It is not possible, at present, to have more than 255 records in a file of this type, and each record cannot be greater than 255 bytes.

Methods of selecting files

After the Answer To Reset (ATR), the Master File (MF) is implicitly selected and becomes the Current Directory. Each file may then be selected by using the SELECT function in accordance with the following rules.

Selecting a DF or the MF sets the Current Directory. After such a selection there is no current EF.

Selecting an EF sets the current EF and the Current Directory remains the DF or MF which is the parent of this EF. The current EF is always a child of the Current Directory.

Any application specific command shall only be operable if it is specific to the Current Directory.

The following files may be selected from the last selected file:

- any file which is an immediate child of the Current Directory;

- any DF which is an immediate child of the parent of the current DF;

- the parent of the Current Directory;

- the current DF;

- the MF.

This means in particular that a DF shall be selected prior to the selection of any of its EFs. All selections are made using the file ID.

The following figure gives the logical structure for the GSM application. GSM defines only one level of DFs under the MF.

The following table gives the valid selections for GSM for the logical structure in figure 7. Reselection of the last selected file is also allowed but not shown.

Reservation of file IDs

In addition to the identifiers used for the files specified in this TS, the following file IDs are reserved for use by GSM.

Dedicated Files:

- administrative use:

'7F 4X';

- operational use:

'7F 10' (DFTELECOM), '7F 20' (DFGSM), '7F 21' (DFDCS1800), and '7F 2X', where X ranges from '2' to 'F'.

Elementary files:

- administrative use:

'6F XX' in the DFs '7F 4X';

'6F 1X' in the DFs '7F 10', '7F 20', '7F 21';

'2F 01', '2F EX' in the MF '3F 00';

- operational use:

'6F 2X', '6F 3X', '6F 4X' in '7F 10' and '7F 2X';

'2F 1X' in the MF '3F 00'.

In all the above X ranges, unless otherwise stated, from '0' to 'F'.
